West Ham's Fullkrug makes surprise visit to German camp

His visit comes as he aims to demonstrate his commitment to Julian Nagelsmann's squad as the team prepares for their crucial upcoming match against Italy. Fullkrug, who has been recovering from an injury, remains in Nagelsmann's plans for the national team, provided he regains full fitness in the coming days.

The striker is expected to attend Germany's final training session on Wednesday morning at Brackel, scheduled for 11.00 CET, before making his way back to London to rejoin West Ham United for club duties following the international break.

While the striker's presence has raised hopes for his swift return to the national fold, it is Tim Kleindienst who is expected to take the starting role against Italy in Thursday's highly anticipated match. Kleindienst's form has earned him a spot in the squad as Germany looks to make a strong statement on the road to the next major competition.

Fullkrug's gesture is being seen as a sign of his dedication to the national team, and his potential inclusion in future fixtures hinges on his fitness levels after the break.
